When you come to Fire Shaper you will notice a very cool interesting flooring in our studio. The flooring option we chose for Fire Shaper provides for you a clean, hygienic and safe non-slip environment to practice your Hot Yoga. The floor itself is made of a material designed to be used outdoors in wet areas to keep those areas safe and clean for people. This special material is non-porous and is anti-microbial resisting the growth of anything considered un-friendly. You will notice it looks like "squashed spagetti" and has a very unique profile. It is designed specifically as such so that the floor can be quickly and thoroughly cleaned all the way through to the bottom. There is no smell, no funk and no junk... Fire Shaper chooses this option over hard wood floors due to our concerns for you to have a safe, comfortable, and non-slip hot yoga experience. We take your practice, your health and your environment very seriously. We believe strongly in the hygiene of all our Fire Shaper studios and if you've been with us since our beginnings you would know that all of our children have grown up in our studios playing and enjoying the students that practice at Fire Shaper. Hygiene is also the major reason that it is REQUIRED that all students practice on large bath towels and stay on their mats at all times. It is policy at Fire Shaper that students must keep their sweat and stuff on their own towels and mat. Just a mat by itself is not good enough to capture all the sweat and toxins that release from your body hence we recommend at least 2 large towels for your practice. Besides, you can enjoy your practice more knowing that you have your own personal and comfortable space to practice on :) Read Less

Waste Elimination

Your cells need 3 essential things, to not only survive, but thrive. There is one thing that most people don't do very well or do it enough and that is to eliminate their own waste. The bloodstream is constantly delivering nutrients, the blood carrys oxygen for us and, the problem is that day after day we are constantly putting more things into our system and whatever the body cannot assimilate, it has to eliminate. The process of elimination literally lowers the body’s energy because it requires tremendous effort and pretty soon you start to accumulate what in the body? WASTE…

The largest excretory (waste removal) organ of the body is your skin (the process of sweating)! Not your poo or your pee but your skin and the second largest excretory pathway of the body is your breath (the process of respiration). At Fire Shaper we’ve got our numbers exactly right for maximum waste elimination. The heat and the humidity are in perfect symbiosis to achieve outstanding results. What you will notice is that when you first begin to sweat might be a bit oily or have an off scent but, over time, your skin will actually be cleaner after one of our yoga classes than before you started the class. When you sweat all of your toxins out you create the opportunity to nourish your body by replacing your fluids with pure clean natural water. Feel the difference Fire Shaper can make to your skin, your digestion, your breath, and your life! Read Less

Strong and Un-Stoppable

Oxygen is the key. The more oxygen you have in your body the stronger your cells will be and the more energy you will have. A diminished blood supply will cause your body and cells to become weaker and eventually die at a greater rate. So, how do I increase my body’s oxygen levels? Easy! Breathing and breath work will help as you exercise your lungs capacity and practice bringing in more oxygen but, and this is a big BUT, no matter how much or how well you breathe your oxygen levels can only increase if your blood supply increases! OK then, how do I increase my blood supply? Easy! We do it everyday at Fire Shaper in any of our 60min, 75min or 90 min classes…

Give it 6 – 10 weeks of Fire Shaper Hot Yoga practice and most people can increase their blood supply massively by 20 – 25%! With 25% more blood flowing in your system and 25% more oxygen combined with Fire Shapers deep breathing activities to raise your oxygen even higher you will immediately experience MORE ENERGY, SHARPER ATTENTION, and A LONGER LIFE. Fact is you are never too old, too sick, or too anything to become Strong & Un-Stoppable. Read Less
